recensies: The saying, "You get what you pay for," strongly applies to this violin. The violin is pretty good quality, but if you compared it to a real one, you can definitely see a difference. I bought this violin as a beginner and to see if I really had a genuine interest in playing the violin and it turns out I do. The violin comes with a case, the violin, a bow, and a block of rosin. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who may have an interest in playing the violin. It is pretty cheap compared to a real violin's price and shipping was free.

recensies: I'm glad I bought it when I did. It's sold out now. The violin needs to be tuned (well) before it will work just has a nice solid frame. I bought this for my daughter. Thinking because she had long arms for her age the full size 4/4 would suit her....it didn't. So I'm keeping it for myself and I just ordered her the 1/8. I know I will need to take it to be tuned and the bridge aligned- but it's an amazing price for item. Also I did need to purchase a new bow. This one is hard to tighten and loosen. I purchased a better quality one but almost at the price of the violin.

recensies: Packaging was sufficient for this piece. This violin has a good sound for the price the only thing I didn't like was the back of the fingerboard wasn't painted but it is more of an asthetic issue. Over all great value

recensies: Received it this morning, took 20 days to come to France.
Good quality case, nice looking violin. As regards the bow it's much heavier than my carbon one, and it looks rather straight for a bow, difficult to play because the curve is not sufficient. I had to put tones of rosine to get a sound out of it. It will do for a replacement bow, what can you except of such a low price ?
The bridge is very thick, and of course it needs to be fitted. i think I will buy a better one.
After I put the bridge and tuned the violin, I was surprised at the sound, which is amazingly good for such a cheap price. Of course as the strings are new the violin doesn't stay tuned but the sound is really good and powerful.
I bought this violin as a "travel violin", because I prefer my good quality violin to stay at home, and I think it will be a pleasure to play with this one when I'm on holidays.
Hope it will last ! The varnish seems ok, I had to move the bridge several times and igood news, the varnish wasn't ruined !
Rather happy of this purchase !
